Memory Saving Packet Modification

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: creating a master copy of a header for all packets of a data transmission event, the master copy including a plurality of intact constant header information, the plurality of intact constant header information being constant for all packets of the data transmission event; storing unique header information for all packets of the data transmission event in a cache memory, the unique header information including information unique to at least one packet of the data transmission event; tokenizing packet IDs of each packet of the data transmission event to create a tokenized packet ID for each packet; indexing the stored unique header information for all packets of the data transmission event in the cache memory based on the tokenizing; retrieving the stored unique header information for a first packet from the cache memory based on the indexing; and creating the first packet using the master copy of the header and associated unique header information by overlaying the unique header information that was retrieved from the cache memory onto the master copy of the header.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving a request for packet transmission from a receiving computer system; and transmitting the first packet to the receiving computer system based on the received request.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein creating the packet further includes appending the master copy of the header with the overlaid unique header information to associated packet data, the associated packet data being retrieved from a data buffer, to create a full data packet.
